It is a Democratic trick to coin a catch phrase like He kept us out of war which,pn account of its cleverness will attract popular' attention and deceive many. Congress is such a snare, concocted to fool the unthinking and uninformed, and to take advantage of the fact that most citizens are too busy with their own immediate business to realize or remember what Congress is industriously but quietly doing up in Washington. They may not know the steps by whieh it came about, but Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen are fully aware that somehow, due to government, condtions have changed, from extravagance, waste, unemployment, panic and discouragement to the dawn of the greatest prosperity this country has ever known. It did not just happen. It was brought about by wise Republican statesmanship, gongress has enacted and the President has signed, in the eighteen months of this administration more important and beneficial legislation than has ever been enacted in equal time by any body in the world. Some of it, as the tariff, required long and careful study that justice might be done to all. Much of it is vastly vital and A mere enumeration of some of these laws will serve to remind those who have not followed Congress closely how absolutely untrue is the slur These are some of the things which Congress has done: Declared peace with Germany and Austria. Ratified the treaties following the Limitation of Arms Conference. Passed the Farmers Emergency Tariff. Passed the new tariff law even more a farmers tariff as well as a laborers, and manufacturers, and Americans tariff. Revived the War Finance Corporation and authorized the loan of one billion dollars to farmers. Advanced funds to Farm Loan Banks. Put a farmer on the Federal Reserve UNITED STATES SENATOR Bv SENATOR JAMES E. WATSON Even.' time a tariff bill has been passed in the history of the country its opponents have always said that it would shrivel up our foreign commerce, that we could not sell abroad unless we bought abroad, and that we could not buy abroad because of the tariff wall that was being erected. : From 1812 down to the present time there has been an endless repetition of this cry about the tariff wall and a remorseless rer iteration of the charge that the tariff-thebeing enacted would destroy our foreign commerce. Never .were such charges made with such relentless force and such unmitigated vehemence as when the Dingley law was enacted, the highest law in all our history. It was incessantly dinned into our ears by day and by night that those high rates would actually shut off all imports, that people would not buy of us because they could not sell to us, and that our foreign commerce would be dried up and our foreign business destroyed. Protectionists paid no attention to these charges and went right on in the passage of the law. Let just a few of these figures speak for themselves: In 1897, the first year of the operation of this law, our exports amounted to $1,099,-000,00and they, steadily mounted upward until in 1909, the : last year of its life, they stood at $1,752,000,000, or an increase of well nigh $700,000,000 in exports, contrary to the prophecies and predictions of every op- Do-nothi- ng my pleasure and privilege to answer care- jUZZ mi fullv all promp y submitted questions to me.

It was not the prospect of having to pay their honest debts to America that drove European countries into the present Near East war. It was the belief, encouraged by propagandists in the United States, that they would never have to pay their debts that led them to squander billions preparing for a new war waged to satisfy European lust for territory and commercial privileges. Any cancellation of European debts would only increase the size of European war expenditures and increasingly jeopardize world peace. No Democrat ever attacks a Republican protective tariff for ,what it has done after it has been in operation. He only dwells upon what he claims he is afraid some protective tariff not yet in operation may do. The only class legislation attempted in connection with the tariff was the effort made to defeat the bill in the interest of a few importers who produce nothing and contribute very little to the upbuilding of America. Ernest Bamberger for Senator In naming Ernest Bamberger, a native son of Utah, to carry the Republican banner to success in the approaching biennial state election, and to represent the commonwealth in the upper house at the National capitol, the Republican party of Utah chose wisely and well. By its action taken at the state convention, it has selected a cultured and dynamic business man who has been closely allied with the varied activities which have tended to the advancement of the state, for upwards of two decades. By their action the Republicans of Utah have identified the aims and hopes of their party with constructive, helpful legislative methods, both for the state and the g exponent of Republicanism1' to nation, and have named a carry on at Washington the ageold fight with the cohorts of darkness who would submerge our nationality and our free institutions in a maze of foreign entanglements and foist upon a struggling people their oft refuted, and more often repudiated, free trade policies. With the integrity, the national trend and the prosperity of the and nation threatened as never before by a group of men, hog-tie- d shackled to rapacious and instiable importers of foreign made goods, bent upon having this country make the supreme sacrifice to foreign lands, the election this fall, becomes of paramount interest to every a Republican year a voter. This is indubitably and must year when all the petty bickerings and foolish party alignments be cast aside discarded and forgotten to promote the common good of our common country. As the standing and record of a business man in his home bailiwick forecasts his eventual standing and record in distant lands or in the legislative halls of a nation. Ernest Bamberger, if elected, as he rightfully expects to be, unless the people of Utah have gone stark mad and would trade their birthright for a doubtful mess of foreign brewed porridge, now being stewed up by the Democrats, will become another direct support of the constructive Harding with Senator Reed Smoot for administration and an ardent national security, national prosperity and true Americanism. The choice which lies before the people is not between the Republican party and some fanciful organization which never makeshasa mistake and which can please everybody an organization that never yet existed and nefrer will exist. The choice, is patently, between the Republican party and the Democratic party. While the contst is between these two major parties and the fight will be waged largely by the machinery of these two parties, yet fundamenrecriminatally the issue is an economic one. Political bombast and tions will play but a small part in determining the choice of the voters. Men and women are now soberly engaged in the study of reconstruction and readjustment problems. These problems are as imvoter as were portant to the future of the nation and each individual the attendant the war problems, but they must be decided without excitement and stimulus of the war period. They call for calm consideration and sound judgment. The great majority of the American electorate are substantial, thinking, reasoning people. By November next they will jrave exThey perienced over eighteen months of Republican administration. will have the record made up before them and will have connoted results. They will ask themselves whether conditions have not changed materially for the better during those eighteen months; whether the nations business and all business agriculture, mining, manufacturing and commerce are not on a more stabilized basis, be-in a more prosperous condition and with a more reassuring outlook cause of these same eighteen months of Republican administration. Petty issues raised by desperate'politicians, cacophonous calam-it- y howls, personalities and isms, no matter how cleverly presented or violently proclaimed, will not swrerve the voters from a just decision based upon actual conditions confronting them and amplified by an irrefutable record of things accomplished. Thus at this early date it is safe to predict the election of Senator Ernest Bamberger by the thinking and reasoning voters of the sovereign state of Utah, to fulfill a great mission in his own as also in life of the state he will so ably represent at Washington. The self-poise- d, life-lon- pre-eminen- ponent of that measure. And ih the meantime, what of our! imports? For these gentlemen were asserting then as now and always, that this higH tariff prevented other people from selling Ito us and that, for that reason, they would not buy of us. In 1897 our total imports amounted to $742,595,000, while in 1908 they had clipibed up to $1,116,000,000, or an increase of nearly $400,000,000 in what we bought abroach and, be it remembered, the Dingley law was high- h er in its average rates than either the or the one we are now considering in the senate. h The same charge is made about the bill and with the same degree-o- f truthfulness. The figures show that iq 1908 our total exports, as above stated, were $1,- Payne-Aldric- Payne-Aldric- v red-tap- ly. . 0, ng. Fordney-McCumb- er , FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1922 tly oft-repeat- ed co-wor- Citizen, 752.000.- 000 in value ,and that in 1913, the last year of the operation of this law they had risen to $2,484,000,000, or an increase of almost $700,000,000 in our exports under this much defamed act. In the meantime our imports had risen from $1,116,000,000 to $1,- 792.000.- 000, an increase of $676,000,00 in what he bought abroad. So that j these charges that are now being presented with such feigned emphasis, fade into thin air when-thlight of truth is thrown upon them. now are being made by the same, people They in the same language, and forv&he same purpose and will be met with thfsame result. We do not put a tariff on anything going out of the country. People dan buy from us. when they want to buy and they can buy without restriction or limitation. Foreign nations do not buy of us because they love us, but because they are compelled "to, because there is no place else to go to get what they want, and, if all our factories are finally operating they can get what they want here a little better than they can get It anywhere else on earth. This has been proved over and over again so that, despite cheaper labor and labor costs, we constantly havte sold the products of our factories right in the teeth of that competition all around the world. In spite of these inventors of woe and these purveyors of calamity and these prophets of evil, during all these years wu have made the most marvelous progress oLany nation in all the history of nations and every day of that progress was made partially because of the protective tariff system, and the only times this march of progress has been interrupted were when the American people temporarily forgot themselves and placed the Democratic party in power to try Jts free trade policy. Thus does history speak, and thus should we learn the wisdom of the lesson she teaches. And in passing it may be somewhat instructive to remember that England, France and Italy have passed laws putting a very strict embargo on German dyes and positively preventing their admission into those countries, while England has also placed prohibitive tariffs on the imports that affect her five key industries. So that this one free trade nation, while still urging that policy Upon us, proceeds to protect herself in the very same manner in which we have always protected our country from her and all other countries. And so, while still doing her level best to force her medicine down our throats, she very gracefully, but nevertheless force-fully, declines to take it herself. An advocate of cancellation of foreign debts says if the American people had been given the choice in April, 1917, of , paying $5,000,000,000 or going to war they would have come across with the $5,000,000,000. American spirit Not unless the Millions exclaimed which for defense is dead in but not a cent for tribute, reply to a sim- r ilar proposal made by the Barbary Coast pi- e - pro-ducti- on 1' old-fashion- rates. America was never developed and made prosperous by patrons of the customs houses. REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE By Carl Marcusen, Chairman (Political Advertisement.) ed |
